White Queso Dip

"Guacamole, salsa, and queso dip are the holy trinity of scoopable Mexican restaurant appetizers. Peruse the refrigerators at your neighborhood Trader Joe’s, and you’ll notice we’re two for three on this front, with a plethora of guacamole and salsa options from which to choose. With the debut of Trader Joe’s White Queso Dip, we’re finally three for three! Our Queso starts with tangy white cheddar—it’s 50% of the recipe, in fact! We mix in cream for extra richness, plus sea salt and onion for savory aromatics. Mild red & green bell peppers add a touch of sweetness (and festive red & green speckles throughout), while diced jalapeños lend a just-right amount of heat. Go ahead, shovel a tortilla chip-full into your mouth—your tastebuds will love this Queso’s restaurant quality flavor, and your wallet will appreciate you skipping the takeout. For vegetarian nachos, drizzle a generous helping of Queso over a plate of White Corn Tortilla Chips, then cover them with crumbled Soy Chorizo and Hot & Sweet Jalapeños, if you’re feeling especially spicy. Or, pay homage to Tijuana, Mexico’s quesabirria tacos by spreading some Queso Dip onto Corn Tortillas, topping them with Beef Birria, folding them over into tacos, and pan frying until crispy and melty. Don’t forget to save the birria juice for dipping!"
